Abstract: Worldwide governments perform considerable financial efforts to support financial sector and the re-launch of lending. The mechanisms vary from the guarantee and purchase of troubled assets till injecting liquidity, by buying securities issued in order to increase financial institutions' equity. The emergence of these measures and their desirability, in the context in which it is based on public funds provided by taxpayers, have originated a lot of debate about the necessity, appropriateness and impact of these interventions. Our paper aims to summarize the main coordinates of programs designed to support banks, implemented by the governments, and the specific concerns of restructuring the financial institutions’ balance.
